Information Mosaic Tackles Network Counterparty Risk With Launch of Asset Surveillance

Company Works Closely With Clients to Create Powerful Decision Tool Enhancing Transparency Across Custody and Sub-custody Networks; Solution to be Demonstrated at Sibos 2010 in Amsterdam

LONDON and NEW YORK, October 11, 2010 - Information Mosaic, the global provider of advanced post-trade
automation solutions, has today launched its new Asset Surveillance solution.
Designed to help financial institutions provide top-down transparency across
their entire custody and depository network in a clear, risk-oriented way,
Asset Surveillance is a powerful decision tool that provides a consolidated
view of network and depository counterparty risk through a single user
interface.

Information Mosaic has worked closely with a number of its
clients to create a solution that provides risk diagnostics and assessment
using unique risk visualisation and presentation tools. Risk is automatically
assessed and flagged against custom-set parameters providing an
up-to-the-minute snapshot of exposure, while the risk simulation feature
allows for 'what if' analysis, ensuring a clear understanding of the risk
associated with every decision. This level of transparency provides
custodians and their institutional asset manager, fund and HNW clients with a
complete view of risk from portfolio to individual trade, helping restore
trust in the market.

"In a market where the on-going debate is who carries and who
should carry responsibility for custody and sub-custody risk, there is a
clear need for systems that provide meaningful risk-assessment of each trade
pre-settlement and under custody. Custodians now have the chance to create
new services for monitoring network counterparty risk, helping them cement
their roles as trusted guardians in the process," commented Rik Turner,
Senior Analyst, Ovum. "It's this top-down transparency that allows investment
managers to make the necessary decisions to mitigate risk."

The new solution is easily integrated with existing systems
and is completely customisable to any organisation's risk metrics. The
flexible risk parameterisation provides a clear snapshot of risk via an
intuitive user interface which can be accessed from any browser-based device,
creating a fluid user experience. Users can receive proactive alerts via SMS
and email, enabling quick and easy decision-making to mitigate risks as they
arise, regardless of where they are.

"When Lehmans collapsed, it took many financial institutions
not days, not weeks, but months to unravel their exposure to the failed bank.
Our Asset Surveillance solution gives the real-time view of network
counterparty risk that ensures this sort of confusion could never happen
again. Custodians have a unique opportunity to be the white knights of risk
in this scenario, providing a definitive picture of where they and their
investors stand on assets under custody," said John Byrne, CEO at Information
Mosaic. "Our clients are looking for new and innovative ways to help provide
increased portfolio visibility to network managers, risk officers and clients
such as asset managers. It is this deeper level of transparency that will
enable the markets to trade confidently once again."

Other key features of Information Mosaic's Asset Surveillance
solution include extensive search and sort functionality on portfolio views,
enabling a client, portfolio or individual trade and position level
perspective. Data can also be rapidly assimilated from across the enterprise,
improving transparency and delivering a quick time to market for new
services.

The Information Mosaic Asset Surveillance solution will be
demonstrated at the company's stand at Sibos, C215. To pre-book an
appointment, please contact: sibos@informationmosaic.com
